Tim Davis Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Picked up a new daily over the weekend, '09 Tornado Red GTI w/DSG. Had to drive to Cleveland to get the deal I was looking for, certified pre-owned so I was able to get the extra 2 yr/24k warranty. Thanks to MKV Aaron for providing me some tips about the cars and what to look for. Brought it home Friday night, picked up a Carbonio/APR intake yesterday and had the windows tinted today. That will probably be it for a while on the mods. Thanks to the wonderful never ending rain, all I have so far is a pic from the dealership's website: http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/GTI.jpg Sold my MKIV TDI Jetta on Saturday, had it 7 years and enjoyed every minute of it. Was just ready for a change. I will miss the MPG but diesel pricing is getting ridiculous.

Mr. Jones Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Good pickup. GTI's are great cars unless you are named Aaron, which case it makes you a gay> The intake adds nothing, get a flash (they are on sale) ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Davis Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 The intake adds nothing, get a flash (they are on sale) ASAP! Hard to pass up the intake @ $80 though, snagged it locally on Craigslist. I'll probably wait 'til spring for the flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a $500 intake for $80 is indeed a deal, great pickup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Davis Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Getting a $500 intake for $80 is indeed a deal, great pickup! It was just the air box portion, not the pipe. Still retails for $269-299 so I gladly picked it up for $80 (2 weeks old, still looked new) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
